On December 31, Kuria sparked a furore after claiming that Uhuru had no time for Kiambu, his home county, but was commissioning jobs elsewhere. He claimed the President only hands out certificates to rehabilitated alcoholics in his home-turf.
Kuria said while he agreed with the President’s position that development is meant for every part of the country, Central is not receiving development projects as it should.
“H E the President is 100 per cent right…we need development in every corner of this country. It is in that spirit and in line with the President’s position that I believe Mt Kenya also deserves development just like any other region,” he said.
His remarks were supported by Bahati MP Ngunjiri Kimani who on Sunday said “life of a Kikuyu has become difficult under the Jubilee regime”.
However it has since been revealed that President Uhuru Kenyatta has initiated many projects in Mt Kenya region contrary to what Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria and other lawmakers want the public to believe.
KOT have taken the initiative to remind Kuria of the projects he is apparently blind to claiming Moses Kuria and MP Kimani Ngunjiri’s stunts are pure politics.
The real reason why Moses Kuria and Kimani Ngunjiri are complaining is not that Mt Kenya has been neglected by Uhuru Kenyatta in matters development. No, it is pure politics. The guys are hustler Ruto errand boys. #DeliveringInMtKenya
